Current Theme - Interactions and Interdependence

This shorter unit will look at the how incredibly interconnected nations are across the globe. We're beginning with some class work looking at globalization, specifically demonstrated by the ongoing supply chain issues in the market. Drive by most car dealerships and you will find a lot of empty space. Try to purchase supplies or parts and delays are likely experienced.
